THIS MORNING.
Destructive Fire in Louisville—The Happy Couple

Excitement in England—Austrian
Rigor Against Socialists, Etcv
A Horrible Holocaust in Chicago.
CAICAGO, June 7.—Eight persons were
smothered and burned to death in the
frame house at Nos. 731 and 733 South
Canal street this morning. The names
of the dead are as follows: Michael Murphy,
aged 40; Mrs. Murphy, aged 35;
Annie Murphy, aged 9; Nellie Murphy,
aged 11; Mrs. Mary Durkin, aged 30:
Patsy Lavin, aged 4; a son of Mrs. Mary
Durkin, John Durkin^three weeks old, and
William Hand, aged 68. The fire broke
out in the cellar of 733 Canal street. Both
houses were filled with smoke before any
of the occupants were aroused. Many
of the sleepers were doubtless smothered
in their beds and the flames following
rapidly after the smoke burned the insensible
bodies till they were tmrecognizable
mases of black and charred bones
and flesh. The firemen in searching
the ruins of the houses,
came upon the most harrowing
scenes. Some were lying in the half
burned beds, others who were awakened
before death came upon them were
clutching each other in groups on the
floor. They were all evidently overcome
by smoke before any effort could be
made to escape, li is believed that the
fire was the work of an incendiary. It
was first seen by a watchman in a brewerynearby.
He started over to alarm
the occupants. When in the rear of the
burned houses he met a man who said,
“there’s a fire; you had better turn in an
alarm.” The man disappeared up an
alley. The watchman could not identify
him if he should be seen again.
This is the third time the place has been
set on fire.
A Big Fire in Louisville.
Louisville, Ky. June 7.—At 3:50 this
morning fire was discovered in a portion
of the new Grand theater, being the stage.
The canvass and oil of the scenery and
the stage settings burned fiercely and in
five minutes after the discovery of the
fire the entire stage was blazing furiously.
Before the engines could get to
work, the theater was a mass of flames,
which soon consumed the entire middle
portion of the block and the area of the
Kentucky school of medicine. The
block was valued at $100,000 and is almost
a complete loss, the medical college
being all that is left standing.
Shortly after 5 a. m. the fire was got
under control. The loss on buildings is
$40,000, insured. Loss on the Grand
theater furniture is $18,000, insured,
for $74,000. Loss of Kentucky
school of medicine $5,000, insured; loss
on stock to other occupants $6,000. Fully
covered.
Political Excitement in England
London, June 7.—The political excitement

been witnessed. A large number
oftory aspirants for seats in the House of
Commons are retiring in favor of liberals.
The unionist candidates in districts
poll of conservative vote w ith that of the
antiGladstone whigs, will probably secure
the election of unionists.

Knights of Labor Predict a Disruption.
Chicago, June 7.—A special dispatch
from Cleveland, O., asserts that local
leaders of the knights of labor regard the
end of the order in its present form as
very near. They say Powderly has been
conquered by the home club clique, and
that his recent denials of the trouble in
the organization are not calculated to
strengthen him with the conservative
element. Its candidate at Richmond,
Va., in October next, will probably be
Tom Barry, of Michigan, who they say,
will lead the antihome club. A break
is predicted in less than six months.
Locomotive Engineers in Session.

union meeting of the International
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers

Won’t Join the Knights.
Pittsburg, June 7.—The convention

The Happy Couple ToDay
Deer Park, June 7.—Despite the
somewhat threatening clouds that hung
over the mountain this morning, the
president and Col. Lamont started about
nine o’clock for a trouting expedition.
The destination was one of the preserves
of G. W. Delawder, fish
commissioner of Maryland, situated
on Deer Creek about six miles northwest
of this place. The couple were supplied
with the most approved trouting accoutrements
and intended to try their luck
at casting flies, though the streams in

CITY COUNCIL.
SATURDAY NIGHT’S SPECIAL SESSION AND
THE PROCEEDINGS THEREATResolutions
to Pave Streets—Music in the Public
Schools—A New Ordinance—The Mayor and
the Council
*0 —
The special session of the city council
was attended by all of the aldermen
on Saturday night. At the conclusion of
the roll call and reading of the minutes
Mayor Sturgis made a brief address to
the members of the council calling their
attention to the fact that each meeting
held cost the city $50, and suggesting
that as the extra session was rendered
necessary on account of giving up too
much time at the regular meetings to
matters of little or no importance, the
members might appropriately remit
their charges for attendance at this
meeting. The mayor further urged the
councilmen to look carefully after the
expenditures of the city and closely
scrutinize every bill, as he was fearful of
leaks in the treasury.
Alderman Battle replied to the
mayor’s comments on city finances and
thought that the strictures he laid upon
the council were undeserved, as he believed
each and every alderman was
working faithfully and honestly for the
city’s interest. In reply to Alderman
Battle’s speech, Mayor Sturgis disavowed
any intention of casting reflections upon
the council or any member of it, and
he intended his remarks simply as a
warning for the members of the council
to be on the lookout.
A motion to remit the charges for this
meeting failed to meet with unanimous
encouragement and was withdrawn. Alderman
Speight declined to support the
motion because he thought the pay littl£
enough anyhow, for the amount of work
an alderman had to do, if he discharged
his duty to the city.
Aldermen Battle and Smith then notified
the secretary that he should not
enter up a charge against the city for
their attendance.
Petition of Charles Bannister to erect a
frame building and cotton gin on First
street was reported upon favorably by
the fire committee and granted.
The tax ordinance fixing the levy for
188687 at $1.65 on the $100, was read a
third time and passed.
The ordinance prescribing beats for
policemen and defining their duties, was
read and laid over.
Alderman Speight, on behalf of Waco
Baylor University, extended the mayor
and council an invitation to attend the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone of
the new university on June 18th, which
was accepted with thanks.
A resolution that property owners be
notified to at once construct sidewalks
on Franklin street from Second
to Eighth and on Third and Fourth
from Franklin streets, Was adopted.
An ordinance creating the separate
offices of assessor and collector of taxes,
to be elected by the citizens was offered by
Alderman Battle, placed on its first reading
and laid over.
A resolution in the following words
was offered by Alderman Grider: Resolved,
That the street commitiee be,
and are hereby instructed to ascertain the
lowest price, by advertising, that the following
work can be done for, as per specideations
furnished by the city engineer:
To pave Austin street from Third to
Eighth streets with block stone, or telford,
or bois d’ arc or of cedar blocks.
The above work to be done by the square
yard; also to curb, of stone,Eighth street,
from Austin, on both sides, to Jackson
street, and to pave with the same material
that is selected by said street committee
for Austin street. The work to be
commenced by the first of July and finished
by the first of November, 1886.
An ordinance regulating the opening
and closing of saloons was read the first
time and laid over.
The question of adding music to the
course of instruction in the public schools
was brought up by a resolution introduced
by Alderman Grider and an inquiry
into the feasibility of the project
ordered.
Adjourned.
A CYPRIAN’S SUICIDE.
The Attempt that Was Foiled !n Waco Succeeded
in Houston.
The following special, from Houston,
is clipped from this morning’s Dallas
News. The suicide referred to took
place last night. No doubt there are
several in Waco who will remember the
unfortunate girl: “Nellie Magnon, a
woman of illfame, committed suicide
by taking morphine this evening in a
house on the corner of Preston and La
Branch streets.
During the afternoon she went hack
riding with a woman of the caste named
Millie Wain. About 7 o’clock the two
women went into a drugstore on the
corner of Congress and Caroline streets
for the purpose of getting soda water.
While in the store it is believed that
Nellie bought a bottle of morphine,
which she secreted in her bosom. ' On
reaching the house she went into the
parlor and mixed and drank the deadly
drug. She then wrote the following note
placed it on a table alongside the turnbier
from which she had taken the potation:
“Dear Sister—Remember me after 1
am gone. Nellie.”
A few minutes before 8 o’clock she was
found in an insensible condition from
which she could not be rallied, dying
about 10 o’clock. She was 16 years old,
was born in New York City and came to
Houston last December. In that month
last year she tried to commit suicide in
Waco. No reason could be assigned for
the act by her half sister, Annie Harris,
who lived in the same house with her.”
On Trial.
Prof. Charles Houser, charged with
perjury, alleged to have been committed
in his testimony in defense of Bud Orman,
who is charged with the murder of
W. F. Hughston, in September last, is
undergoing an examining trial on a writ
of habeas corpus today, before Judge
Eugene Williams, in the district court.
Up to the time The Day goes to press
the testimony is not concluded, though
the state feels confident of making out a
strong case against the defendant.
Later.—At 4 p. m., Prof. Houser was discharged.
Proceedings in Congress ToDay.
Washington, June 7.—House.—Mr.
Crisp, of Georgia, rising to a question of
personal privilege, said: “On Saturday,
during the debate in the house, I was betrayecl
into a warmth of expression which
I now regret. The distinguished
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman)
whose long service, whose years, entitled
him to the respect of the public, was and
is in full possession of the expression
used by that gentleman which 1 understood
him to use, excited the feeling
which prompted that warmth of expression
which he regretted.”
Mr. Holman said: “I accept very
cheerfully and earnestly, the expressions
which the gentleman has dropped from
his lips, and 1 wish to recall any words 1
may have said which might be considered
as unkind to him or unjust to the house.”
(Applause.)
The speaker then proceeded to a call
of states for the introduction of bills.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, manifested a disposition
to fillibuster and by calling for
the reading of every measure to consume
the day and prevent the passage ot
the Missouri judicial bill under a suspension
of the rules, but finally an amicable
arrangement was made among the
members of the Missouri delegation, and
the call was permitted to proceed without
interruption.
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, offered a resolution
which was referred, reciting that it is
generally believed that certain directors
of the Union Pacific or Kansas Pacific
railway companies have been faithless to
their trust in various ways, and directing
thejudiciary committee to inquire into
the transactions of the directors of both
companies since their incorporation.
Grover’s Plans for August.
Chicago, June 7.—A Washington
special says that within the past few days
the president has accepted an invitation
from W. S. Hopkins, of Oakland, on the
St. Claire river, near Detroit, Mich., to
spend the month of August as his guest
at that place, and to cruise about the
lake upon the steam yacht fiSigma.”
Although the president has lived at
Buffalo all his life he has never been
up the lakes and is greatly desirous of
making the journeys.
Sam Jones Visits Mr. Cleveland.
Washington, May, 29.—Sam Jones, with
his wife and two children, came over from
Baltimore this morning. They visited the
Capitol and received marked attentions from
the Georgia {delegation. Though the evangelist’s
arrival had not been heralded, it was
soon whispered around that he was in the
Capitol, and no visitor has attracted more
attention there in a long time. As he sat in
the reserved galleiy he was pointed out by
members and visitors, and was the subject of
more comment than even the Oleomargarine
bill.
At 2|o’clock Mr. Jones called on the
President with his family. Though unattended
by any members of Congress, the
President promptly received him and expressed
his pleasure at the meetiug.
Tonight at 8 o’clock Sam Jones preached
one of his strongest and most characteristic
sermonf at Mount Vernon Church Hundreds
could not get admission.

CITY COUNCIL.
SATURDAY NIGHT’S SPECIAL SESSION AND
THE PROCEEDINGS THEREATResolutions
to Pave Streets—Music in the Public
Schools—A New Ordinance—The Mayor and
the Council
*0 —
The special session of the city council
was attended by all of the aldermen
on Saturday night. At the conclusion of
the roll call and reading of the minutes
Mayor Sturgis made a brief address to
the members of the council calling their
attention to the fact that each meeting
held cost the city $50, and suggesting
that as the extra session was rendered
necessary on account of giving up too
much time at the regular meetings to
matters of little or no importance, the
members might appropriately remit
their charges for attendance at this
meeting. The mayor further urged the
councilmen to look carefully after the
expenditures of the city and closely
scrutinize every bill, as he was fearful of
leaks in the treasury.
Alderman Battle replied to the
mayor’s comments on city finances and
thought that the strictures he laid upon
the council were undeserved, as he believed
each and every alderman was
working faithfully and honestly for the
city’s interest. In reply to Alderman
Battle’s speech, Mayor Sturgis disavowed
any intention of casting reflections upon
the council or any member of it, and
he intended his remarks simply as a
warning for the members of the council
to be on the lookout.
A motion to remit the charges for this
meeting failed to meet with unanimous
encouragement and was withdrawn. Alderman
Speight declined to support the
motion because he thought the pay littl£
enough anyhow, for the amount of work
an alderman had to do, if he discharged
his duty to the city.
Aldermen Battle and Smith then notified
the secretary that he should not
enter up a charge against the city for
their attendance.
Petition of Charles Bannister to erect a
frame building and cotton gin on First
street was reported upon favorably by

A CYPRIAN’S SUICIDE.
The Attempt that Was Foiled !n Waco Succeeded
in Houston.
The following special, from Houston,
is clipped from this morning’s Dallas
News. The suicide referred to took
place last night. No doubt there are
several in Waco who will remember the
unfortunate girl: “Nellie Magnon, a
woman of illfame, committed suicide
by taking morphine this evening in a
house on the corner of Preston and La
Branch streets.
During the afternoon she went hack
riding with a woman of the caste named
Millie Wain. About 7 o’clock the two
women went into a drugstore on the
corner of Congress and Caroline streets
for the purpose of getting soda water.
While in the store it is believed that
Nellie bought a bottle of morphine,
which she secreted in her bosom. ' On
reaching the house she went into the
parlor and mixed and drank the deadly
drug. She then wrote the following note
placed it on a table alongside the turnbier
from which she had taken the potation:
“Dear Sister—Remember me after 1
am gone. Nellie.”
A few minutes before 8 o’clock she was
found in an insensible condition from
which she could not be rallied, dying
about 10 o’clock. She was 16 years old,
was born in New York City and came to
Houston last December. In that month
last year she tried to commit suicide in
Waco. No reason could be assigned for
the act by her half sister, Annie Harris,
who lived in the same house with her.”

strong case against the defendant.
Later.—At 4 p. m., Prof. Houser was discharged.
Proceedings in Congress ToDay.
Washington, June 7.—House.—Mr.
Crisp, of Georgia, rising to a question of
personal privilege, said: “On Saturday,
during the debate in the house, I was betrayecl
into a warmth of expression which
I now regret. The distinguished
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman)
whose long service, whose years, entitled
him to the respect of the public, was and
is in full possession of the expression
used by that gentleman which 1 understood
him to use, excited the feeling
which prompted that warmth of expression
which he regretted.”
Mr. Holman said: “I accept very
cheerfully and earnestly, the expressions
which the gentleman has dropped from
his lips, and 1 wish to recall any words 1
may have said which might be considered
as unkind to him or unjust to the house.”
(Applause.)
The speaker then proceeded to a call
of states for the introduction of bills.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, manifested a disposition
to fillibuster and by calling for
the reading of every measure to consume
the day and prevent the passage ot
the Missouri judicial bill under a suspension
of the rules, but finally an amicable
arrangement was made among the
members of the Missouri delegation, and
the call was permitted to proceed without
interruption.
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, offered a resolution
which was referred, reciting that it is
generally believed that certain directors
of the Union Pacific or Kansas Pacific
railway companies have been faithless to
their trust in various ways, and directing
thejudiciary committee to inquire into
the transactions of the directors of both
companies since their incorporation.

more comment than even the Oleomargarine
